At first I had hopes of using Skype, the Pi camera and a USB microphone but Microsoft killed Skype for Linux on ARM, and a USB microphone takes up so much of the CPU there isn’t enough left to handle the encoding and multiplexing.

Incidentally, we have used the ssh and vlc video streaming solution successfully using a 3G dongle on the Pi, so at least that part should be plain sailing 🙂 Good luck!

P.S. Do please let us know if you find a working solution, it would be great to be able to use the Pi to record and/or stream live presentations!

I basically want to make a portable streaming device, something that people can connect to, to see what im upto. All the video streaming stuff i have seen is just the video, and doesnt include audio. I know that your all for the security side so only you can view the stream, which might be a good idea, as i plan on streaming it to my laptop and then using something like twitch to stream it from my laptop over the internet so that the pi doesnt get overloaded with connections. Any help would be really awesome, and thanks in advance. 😛 (Y) currently i have it set up running motion (video only is better than nothing) and its powered by a battery at the minute that lasts 2 hours, i just need to get a 3g dongle and then it will be portable, but if you know of a way to stream the audio as well as the video that would be epic (Y)

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 11:17:25 +0000http://franklinheath.co.uk/?p=1357#comment-468Glad you like it! We’ve been through several iterations on the Lego case, and it’s nearly there but not quite. The main case is good and sturdy, and adaptable to leave a gap for the camera cable or not. The camera module is attached with Lego hinges so it can be pointed wherever you want, but the current construction of it isn’t very robust, so I’m going to try some different-shaped pieces with it. I plan to blog about it once I’m happy with it, and we’re considering offering it as a kit on eBay (the Lego Tux penguin too if you like it :-)) and/or as a prize at Over the Air next month.

I also love the lego case you have posted in your follow up article. Have you posted any details on how to build that case? It appears to have a movable cover over the camera.
